I am all for skipping grades. It seems to me that kids will have the same quirks (such as perfectionism, which I have never seen anyone grow out of) no matter what grade they are in.
Both of our kids were skipped a grade (1st and 2nd) and even now (4th and 5th) they require acceleration within the classroom. In fact, the plan is for my son to attend 7th grade math next year!
Don't be afraid to let your daughter go where she fits. Of course, if the teachers and administration think she is better off where she is, well, that complicates things. I, myself, would probably go along with them until I felt absolutely sure that she needs to go higher. You can be patient, as long as you are vigilant, which you obvioulsy are.
Please let me know what happens.
